Author: WILHELM, ROSCHER
The “strongman” is the political boogeyman of our time. With the rise of figures like Xi, Duterte, Modi, Bukele, and Putin in the 21st century, this boogeyman has taken centre stage in global politics. Ours is the age of the Caesar.
The Central Argument of Caesarism
Wilhelm Roscher’s Caesarism explores the paradox of a ruler who governs monarchically but is legitimised democratically.
Key features of Roscher's analysis include:
- Historical Context: Drawing on examples from Ancient Rome, Greece, and Carthage.
- Prominent Figures: Insights into leaders such as Cromwell and Napoleon.
- Balanced Perspective: A measured assessment that neither glorifies nor damns Caesarism.
Why Caesarism Matters Today
As contemporary political discourse increasingly revisits strongman politics, Roscher’s work equips readers to:
- Discern the multifaceted legacies—both constructive and destructive—of Caesarism.
- Understand how Caesarism bridges the ancient and modern worlds.
This is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of a political phenomenon that continues to shape history.
